Humming while writing or sketching something. Siegbert spotted his childhood playmate by accident today doing this while sitting under a tree. What was she writing or sketching there?
He was curious. He'd like to approach her but when he did she always slammed the book close, asking if he needed something and talked about various other things, just not what entry she made today.
Huh? Did she still do her "Food Diary" or "Discovery Diary"? It'd make sense, even today. Emi was that kind of person since everything was new for her. She found something every day. It was an adventure. Just like it was for a little child. Many would call it childish and actually it kind of was. But if it makes her happy why not?
"Luring at girls?" someone suddenly approached her from behind. A female voice, sounding like she was jesting. "That's not appropriate future lord Siegbert!"
"Please, just call me Siegbert Soleil" the 'future lord' sighed.
"Sorry, I need to get used to it. Who're you watching?"
"You sound like I lure around."
"No offense intended" Then she spotted the blond female as well. "Your maid?" the pink haired mercenary joked.
"Wha- No!" the young prince became a bit louder. "We are friends!" Or at least used to be.
"You sure?"
"I am!"
"Bet she'd do 'stuff' if you asked her to" Soleil suddenly brought up. "Stuff?" Sieg asked confused as he turned around. "What are you referring to?"
"You know, drinking tea together. Wouldn't that be-" but then she realized that he drifted off.
Tea, huh? They had done it a few times, maybe- No! What was he thinking!?
"Siegbert!" Sol shouted. And suddenly he woke up. "Did you hear what I said!?"
He shook his head and directly apologized. But then right away he asked:"Could I recieve some advice for talking to the opposite gender Soleil?" "Talking to girls? Advice?" she repeated confused. This request seemed to come out of the blue.
He nodded. "I thought someone as confident as you might have some. Besides, you seem to have an easy time talking to females too."
"Are you interested in your-"
"No, not like that!" he interfered. "It's just-" Great. Why did he even start this? A crown prince not being able to talk to his people? Sounds pathetic.
"Just?" Soleil repeated questioning.
"It's no-"
"Nah-ah. You won't get away from that one!"
He sighed. "Alright. Just please, do not laugh."
"Hot!" she almost screamed as she put the cup quickly away from her mouth while spilling some on her clothes.
"I warned you" Siegbert slightly laughed. "Tea is always hot when it just has been brewed."
"Gee! If you want to laugh do it properly!"
"Sorry, sorry."
It was adorable on its own. A child always made that mistake the first time, even he did. Now, it was not pleasant but at the same time funny that a grown, young woman made such mistakes.
She was always curious what tea was and asked non-stop. Although it never was much, just flavored hot water he always answered. And now she tried it. 'Hot water with flavor'.
"I should write that down" she suddenly brought out while trying to sip again. "This is the weirdest thing I've tasted so far!" "Even weirder than soup?" he asked.
She nodded, "I'm still glad you showed me. It tastes good in its own way." Right then she put cup down.
"When we are in your world, will you show me everything you know? You promise?"
